Is there a way to mute the parking sensor when backing a trailer?

It’s super annoying when I’m backing a boat or trailer and that noise is constant.



Did you read your vehicle owner’s manual?

On my 2015, I can temporarily disable the front or rear sensors (when they activate) by pushing a button on the steering wheel controls - based upon the DIC display message.

Also, if you hook up the trailer lights with the ignition on the Expy will automatically disable the parking sensors and extend the blind spot monitor (if you have the trailer length configured).

You might have something wrong with your trailer wiring. Even if you don't plug in the trailer when the Expy is running. Upon start up it will find the trailer and go through the warning OK's.

Ah, I couldn't remember for sure if you had to have the Expy running. I know you need it running when you disconnect or it'll keep thinking the trailer is hooked up.

How do I configure the trailer length? I do not find that capability on my 2017 KR.
